Finally! The Forever Winter is Over. Maybe.

This winter seemed to last forever. We had snow fall after snow fall. We had a freeze, thaw, then refreeze. Enough already!

Spring has finally sprung or at least it seems to this week. You never know with Illinois weather. Addie doesn’t understand how she can go outside and play without a jacket or a coat one day and then the next day be too cold to even play outside. Outside play has been on the top of Addie’s to do list this week though. Who can blame her for wanting to go outside at 7:00 o’clock in the morning?

We recently went on our first hike of the year. It felt wonderful to get out in nature.

After our hike we let the girls play on the playground they have at the park.

We do have our tulips and irises coming up in our backyard so maybe spring is here to stay. We just may have some cold temperatures thrown in there because after all we do live in Illinois.
